Auto-Discovery stopped working after upgrade

Post by rferebee »

Hello,

I just updated my production XI server to version 5.6.5 and it seems the Auto-Discovery Configuration Tool has stopped working.

When I attempt to add a new server with 'New Auto-Discovery Job' via its IP address, after I click the Submit button the job just sits at "Waiting" and never proceeds even if I click Refresh Job List.

I can still add a server with the Windows Server wizard, so I know there isn't a problem with XI seeing the resource.

See screenshot.

Thank you.

Hi @rferebee,

What version did you upgrade from ( we'd like to test this out here ). Please run the command below from the terminal as root, and then try running Auto Discovery again, and let us know if it's successful or not.

Code: Select all

chmod g+w /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/autodiscovery/jobs
Thanks.

The fix you provided for Auto Discovery resolved the issue. It is working now.

I attempted to re-sync the BPI hostgroups and services, which typically resolved the Unknow error, but it didn't work.
